Gun does not recock:
I
f
you fire the PT Xtreme
and it does not recock
by itself, remove your air
source and disassemble the gun (after you’ve made sure that
your C02 tank has enough gas). Look for debris wedged
between the upper bolt and the breach. free your marker of any
debris, and re-lubricate all of your o-rings. Now reassemble your
marker and you should be ready to go. Be sure to check and see
if the connecting pin is still in place. Sometimes the connecting
pin will shift up or down and “lock” the bolt and hammer.
Low velocity:
The first thing you’ll need to do (after you make
sure your C02 tank is not empty or low) is to check the velocity
adjusting screw located in the rear of the hammer plug. To
increase the velocity, turn the screw clockwise and re-chrono-
graph the gun. Still shooting low? Check to make sure the gun is
clean and lubricated internally. Look for debris on or around the
bolt/hammer assembly and clean if necessary. Another possible
cause of velocity problems with the PT Xtreme is a weak striker
spring. You may need to order a stiffer or longer spring. If all
else fails, you can place a spacer between the velocity adjusting
screw and spring guide.
Air leaking out of the barrel:
You will need to replace your cup seal.
To replace the cup seal remove your gas connector, valve spring,
and existing cup seal. Replace the cup seal and reassemble.
(Tech Tip) Cup seals leaking are a common problem among blow
back style markers.
Trouble Shooting
Excessive ball breakage:
Ball Breakage is usually the result of
high velocity,weather, dirty marker, paint, or bore size.
High Velocity: Be sure that your marker is shooting below
290 (fps) feet per second. High velocity is a common cause
of ball breakage.
Weather: Cold weather can make paintballs brittle allowing
for more ball breakage. Hot weather can cause paint to
expand an therefore your paint will be torn through your
barrel
Dirty Marker: Remember a clean marker is a happy marker.
Dirty components will usually result in ball breakage.
Paint:Old paint or lower end paints can sometimes be the
cause of ball breakage.Check your paintballs for flat spots,
color fading, etc.
Bore Size: Your barrels bore size plays a large part in shoot-
ing accurate and limiting ball breakage. So be sure to use
the proper size barrel.
Inconsistent velocity:
Velocity can be effected by the list
given above. Be sure that your marker is clean and lubricat-
ed and remember Co2 is affected by temperature therefor
when using this gas allow for expansion and contraction.
High velocity:
High Velocity is usually the result of expanded
C02 or broken paint in your barrel. To help maintain a con-
sistent velocity be sure your marker is clear of all debris in
both the lower and upper chambers.
(Tech Tip) If using Co2 as your power source we recom-
mend an expansion chamber to help stabilize a very active
gas.
